Report to Legislature - Septage Capacity Assessment (Number of pages: 4) (Publication Size: 201KB)

| Description | In 2024, the Washington State Legislature directed Ecology to contract with a statewide association of local public health officials to assess the current state and possible future needs for managing septage within Washington. Septage is the waste removed from septic tanks, cesspools, portable toilets, RV holding tanks, and similar systems used to store domestic sewage. Proper septage management is vital to prevent system failures, sewage spills, and pollution emissions that can harm people and the environment. In June 2024, Ecology contracted with the Washington State Association of Local Public Health Officials (WSALPHO) and its consultant, SCJ Alliance (SCJ). SCJ submitted the final document to Ecology in spring 2025. SCJ’s Septage Capacity Assessment evaluates Washington’s septage infrastructure, identifies present and future gaps in septage management, and offers recommendations and next steps to close those gaps. |
